Stories about those days.

The stories that people have about Jamie’s photos are a source of amazement. Β Some are of the “that’s me and we were doing this” type of stories from Jamie’s friends. Some are the “I never met Jamie but this was taken on my birthday and it means a lot to me. And some are just stunningly moving one of a kind stories.

    I was born this day at 3pm. My mother has always told me that it was an extremely hot and sunny day and she was exhausted from the heat and pregnancy. This photo perfectly describes the day i was born to me. In this photo, the sun, the heat, the time of the day all take me back in time as if i am a visitor to the day i was born.

    Was born this year but March 6, 2011 I was in a house fire that killed 6 of my friends πŸ™ it’s crazy bc I saw a streetlight vaguely shining through a bend blind in a house full of smoke…3 of us made it out that night and the picture on this website for the following day is of a bed. We were sleeping when the fire took place and most didn’t even awake from their sleep when detectives found them.

    I’m not sure what to make of this. Is it a balloon? Medical device? This only makes me curious to solve the puzzle of his story on this day. A day that I was born.

    This was my birthday and I remember because my girl friend decided to get back @ me for not celebrating her birthday the way she saw fit. So she came over just long enough to say happy Birthday… then she left. Needless to say we’re not together anymore. πŸ˜’

    I was born this day. Isn’t it strange that he would take a picture of feet. This is probably what I first saw coming into this world.

    I turned 21 on this day. I was in New London, Conn. Went to a club called The Bach Dor. Saw a band named “Canyon”. Still have the recording of the sets that night. Was with my friend Ron Arnold from Louisiana. We were shipmates. USS Fulton (AS-11) stationed at the Conn. State Pier. Thanks for the picture. DKS

    I was born early in the morning on this day. Jamie’s story brought tears to my eyes and shudders to my breath, but it makes me smile to see these two children having such a great time at the same time that I was being swaddled, snipped and prepared for the world I was brought into. Thank you for sharing these photos with the world.
